Dave, I've put waaaaaay too much money and time into his operation as it is. The bankers love throwing money at him because he's a farmer so he's on his own with that.

I am assuming he was driving it in two wheel drive, he was on dry pavement. Just too much weight for the size of tractor. There are suggested tractor sizes for all implements, he knew he was undersized but at the time it was the largest tractor he had available to him.

Well at least you picked the right color this time! 
I'll be honest, when I look at that price tag, it makes me feel better about how much I have paid for my entire farm! 
Can I at least open the door and look inside when you bring it to Truckstock?

He could if he had them but then he'd get himself stuck even worse.

I was informed this morning that he was stuck in back, again, this time 50 feet to the west in the same damn field, this time with a stronger tractor with bald bad tires. I told him this was the last time I'll help. I told him to haul the crap, literally, in our neighbor's field, which is high land but he doesn't want to give his manure away.
A 6.7, not a 6.0?!!!!!

Right after I traded my 6.0 for a 6.4, I drove the "new" truck onto a used car lot one day because my wife told me to stop and look at something. The salesman almost didn't even want to speak to me. I finally said "Don't worry, I'm not looking to trade it, plus it's a 6.4". He let out the biggest sigh of relief I've ever seen and said "Oh man, I was so afraid that was a 6.0." I've gotten to the point that I look immediately at the side mirrors on a late model SD diesel when I pass one on the road. If the mirrors have rounded corners, I immediately feel sorry for the owner. I got into a huge pissing match with a guy on the Super Duty forum a couple years ago about this. The guy was totally unreasonable and bound and determined to sing the praises of the almighty 6.0.

Man I could use that manure on my hay fields right now. I usually spend over a grand on fertilizer every few years, and your boy is literally looking for places to dump it. Yeah, I agree with you, tell him to dump it on the neighbor's property. **** ain't worth getting stuck like that.
